Patent CA-2163565-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FELDBERG IAN
IPC: A61N5/02
Filed: 1994-07-19
Abstract: A probe (1) is designed to propagate and radiate microwave electromagnetic energy in a controlled fashion. The probe (1) includes at least one waveguides (2) of cross-section which would not normally pass microwaves at the operational frequency. The waveguide (2) therefore includes dielectric material (5), such as alumina, in the form of a rod an exposed portion of which forms an antenna. The probe is preferably for use in endometrial ablation and therefore the reduced dimension of the waveguide can be made compatible with the narrow neck of the uterus.
Patent CA-2164418-A1 (CA)
Title: Dynamic self-checking safety circuit means
Inventor: BARTELS JAMES I
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1993-06-16
Abstract: A safety circuit for monitoring computer hardware that can create an unsafe condition if a failure occurs. The circuit includes a microprocessor, a keyword decoder, and a dynamic safety relay drive circuit. The microprocessor runs a set of internal tests which create a keyword made up of a series of bits. A particular series of bits indicates the desired operation of the microprocessor. On alternate generations of the keyword one bit in the series is inverted. The keyword decoder receives the keywords and outputs a "true" signal if the keyword indicates the desired operation of the microprocessor, and "false" signal if the keyword indicates otherwise. The output of the keyword decoder is transmitted to the dynamic safety relay drive circuit, and this signal will keep the circuit energized as long as its alternating. The position of the bit which is inverted is rotated through the keyword so that different bit paths through the keyword decoder may be tested.

Title: Reduced cavity module with interchangeable seat
Inventor: LEWIS WILLIAM A
IPC: B05C5/02
Filed: 1995-12-21
Abstract: A nozzle assembly (11) of a fluid dispensing apparatus (10) includes a dispensing valve (32) adjacent a discharge orifice (34). The dispensing valve (32) opens to permit the flow of adhesive therethrough and closes to terminate the flow of adhesive in response to respective first and second states of the valve operating module (14). The fluid dispensing apparatus (10) has a separable nozzle plate (102) that includes the dispensing valve seat (100) and the discharge orifice (34) and is coupled to a nozzle body (72) with a mounting cap (104). A secondary valve (146) is located upstream of the dispensing valve (32) and permits adhesive to flow therethrough in response to both of the first and second states of the valve operating module. However, as the mounting cap (104) and nozzle plate (102) are remuved, the secondary valve (146) automatically engages its valve seat (94), thereby terminating the flow of adhesive while the nozzle plate (102) is removed from the valve body (16).

IPC: H04H20/38
Filed: 1994-11-30
Abstract: In a telecommunication system (1) a central receiving unit (2) is coupled with several devices (4) via a transmission network (3), which devices (4) transmit data input with the aid of data input means (8) to the central receiving unit (2), usually within a short period of time. The data transmitted has at least partly been created on the basis of interactive communication with for example a television programme (6) being broadcast.

Title: Agonist antibodies against the flk2/flt3 receptor and uses thereof
Inventor: BENNET BRIAN D
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1995-03-23
Abstract: Agonist antibodies are disclosed which bind to the extracellular domain of the flk2/flt3 receptor and thereby activate the intracellular kinase domain thereof. The labeled antibodies are useful as diagnostics for detecting the presence of the flk2/flt3 receptor in primitive hematopoietic cells for example. The antibodies are able to cause primitive hematopoietic cells to proliferate and or differentiate and thereby enhance repopulation of mature blood cell lineages in a mammal which has undergone chemo- or radiation therapy or bone marrow transplantation. The antibodies are further useful for treating mammals which have suffered a decrease in blood cells as a consequence of disease or a homorrhage, for example.

Title: Display screen
Inventor: CROSSLAND WILLAM ALDEN
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 1995-04-06
Abstract: A liquid-crystal display screen comprises a backing layer (17) acting as a light guide for activating light; a liquid-crystal layer (29) containing cells which when suitably addressed allow light to pass from the backing layer through the cell; and an emitting layer containing phosphor-type elements (35, 37, 39) corresponding to the cells, for emitting display light when activating light reaches them.  For reducing crosstalk and increasing output there are means (47; 49; 77, 81; 87; 87a) for collimating the activating light towards the phosphor-type elements.  The invention allows a variety of configurations to be used, such as birefringent LC displays with side-lighting, and FE liquid crystals in scattering mode.  FE LC displays can be produced having a grey scale, using part-time addressing and phosphor persistence.

Title: Compositions for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases
Inventor: SHAPIRO HOWARD K
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 1995-05-11
Abstract: This invention defines novel compositions which can provide a basis for clinical treatment of several chronic inflammatory diseases, said diseases including varieties of arthritis, ileitis, colitis and other inflammatory disorders, as well as trauma resulting from ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. Increased lipid peroxidation is a common to the etiology of all of the clinical disorders addressed herein. Such increased lipid peroxidation generates carbonyl substances which are cytotoxic and additionally serve to perpetuate and disseminate the inflammatory process. This invention involves use of orally administered amine derivatives of benzoic acid as carbonyl trapping agents. These primary therapeutic agents act by chemically binding to and sequestering the aldehyde and/or ketone products of lipid peroxidation. p-Aminobenzoic acid (or PABA) is an example of the primary agent of the present invention. PABA has a small molecular weight, is water soluble, has a primary amine group which should react with carbonyl-containing metabolites under physiological conditions and is tolerated by the body in relatively high dosages and for extended periods. The method of the present invention includes administration of a composition comprising (1) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one carbonyl sequestering primary therapeutic agent, (2) optionally one or more co-agents such as, for example, an anti-oxidant free radical trapping substance, and (3) at least one medicament recognized as effective to treat said chronic inflammatory disease, so as to produce an additive or synergistic physiological effect of an anti-inflammatory nature.

Title: Height of cut adjustment mechanism
Inventor: GOMAN GERALD EUGENE
IPC: A01D34/74
Filed: 1996-12-05
Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the cutting height of a mower deck, which includes a four bar linkage with a pair of beam members, a rod member extending between the two beams. Rotation of the rod by the operator causes the beams to shift relative to each other, which causes the four bar linkage to raise or lower the mower deck. A projecting member is biased toward engagement with a detent formed in the rod member for securing the mower deck at the selected cutting height, and allows the operator to sense when the projecting member rides past the detent as the cutting height is incrementally adjusted.

Abstract: A remote electricity metering system is known in which a central station (LC) communicates with meters (U1-U13) over the mains (10-14), with messages to remote meters being relayed by intermediate meters and the route of a message being determined by the central station. The present central station includes routing means which comprise, for each meter: a single route table (45-1) which contains a plurality of possible routes (46-1, etc) to the meter; route selector means (47) for selecting among those routes; and means (48, 49), operative if none of the routes in the table enable the meter to be reached, for generating a fresh route and inserting it in the table by displacing a single route from the table. A figure of merit may be stored (at 51) for each route, dependent on the quality of that route or simply on its length. Counters count (48) the number of successive failures of a route and (49) the number of successive failures of successive routes. Routes may be selected in dependence on the time and/or conditions in the mains system.
